Colorado vs. Georgia Tech Game Betting Analysis
Let’s start with the Over here, as Georgia Tech saw a 4-2 O/U record at home last season with an insane 61.2 points averaged per game last season. So points are common in Bobby Dodd. The Yellow Jackets have also hit the Over in six straight home games when facing a non-AP ranked school in September, while Colorado saw a team score 42 points or more in three of its final five games to end 2025.
Georgia Tech has gone Over the total in five of six home games as the favorite as well. Going to the spread, Colorado has dropped the spread in seven of eight games when facing non-AP ranked schools as the underdog. The Buffs have also lost six straight road games outright, so if leaning in either the ATS or ML markets, then going Georgia Tech might be wise. However, we’ll go with the Over given the amount of supporting data from last year.
